Minster Chiropractic Center is your Minster exercise coach as well as your chiropractor who delivers spinal manipulation : the best of both worlds!
EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients get results with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and increasing spine stability. There is a variety of exercise options available from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises proved better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, reducing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to lessen pain, enhance function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises done24 daily equally benefited multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you are most likely to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will appreciate it.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Regardless of a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain being frustrating (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to properly perform the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises with the addition of hip muscle strengthening effectively enhanced physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Minster back pain patients wanting some pain relief are urged to perform exercises as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes even more hope for back pain patients despite the diagnosis. One case report of a 24-year-old patient with a recurrent disc herniation and pain after back surgery laminectomy described that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehab exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) found relief and improvement. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the patient described above did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers utilized spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
